HOTSPOTS 460K[edit]
- Need more of Subset E. But to save time, I made more of A-E together in case I run out. Noi made one plate of Subsets A-F for me before she left, I still have a lot of subset F to use.
Current probes concentrations[edit]
Subset | Qubit (ng/uL) |
A | 11.84 |
B | 15.4 |
C | 11.92 |
D | 11.76 |
E | --- |
F | 5.12 |
Consumed reagents[edit]
- For future reference to calculate total cost of probes prep for 1.5x96 wells
6,600 uL KAPA Sybr Fast 2xMM -- $347/10 mL 900 uL QIAEX II silica beads -- $169/1.5 mL 180 uL Lambda Exo (5 U/uL) -- $209/1.0 mL 210 uL USER (NEB) -- $216/.250 mL 74 uL DpnII (50 U/uL) -- $211/.100 mL 12X ssDNA/RNA cleanup & concentrate columns -- $149/50X
- Total amount above exclude size selection =$ XXX
- 200 ng gDNA at 200:1 probes to target ratio uses 314.29 ng of probes.
- Noi's yield is 7-8 ug per plate, Alan's yield is 12-16 ug per plate.
- If I produce ~6ug of probes, each sample will cost ~ $ XXX in probes (excludes size selection materials).
Probes production (Day 1)[edit]
- Reagents used: 1.5x96wells plate, 6,600 uL KAPA Sybr Fast 2XMM, 600 uL QIAEX II silica beads
- Set up ~15 min + 30 min run / 96 reactions = 1.5 hr qPCR
- PCR cleanup with QIAEXII = 1 hr (would be faster if I can use an ultra-centrifuge to spin down 15 mL tubes).
- Used 1X2.0 mL tubes to prepare each reaction master mix:
Reagent Volume KAPA 2X Sybr Fast 1,100 uL Nuclease free water 1,100 uL AP1V4 8.8 uL AP2V4 8.8 uL Template (10nM) 4.4 uL (template was prepared by Noi from starting probes mix). 95C 30s -> [ 95C 15s -> 55C 45s -> 60C 30s read plate -> 60C 10s]x20cycles -> 60C 1 min
- I used the CFX96 to perform qPCR. The incubation time at each temperature was increased to account for the overhead volume (>50uL).
- Subsets A,C,D appears to saturate at 14 cycles while B,E saturate at 15

- I used QIAEX II beads to purify the PCR reactions. Each 2,200 uL total reaction was split into 5x2.0 mL tube.
Used 20 uL of QIAEX II beads + 3X QX1 buffer. Eluted each tube with 50 uL nuclease free water first, then added more water for serial elution.
Subset | cycles | 100 uL reactions | QIAEX II yield, Nanodrop (ng/uL) | QIAEX II volume (uL) | Total yield (ug) |
A | 15 | 22 | 153.2 | 220 | 33.704 |
B | 15 | 22 | 128.4 | 220 | 28.248 |
C | 15 | 22 | 155.5 | 220 | 34.21 |
D | 15 | 22 | 154 | 230 | 35.42 |
E | 14 | 44 | 124.6 | 473 | 58.9358 |
- I expected 33 ug on average from 22 reactions and got about the right amount. Using QIAEX II beads saved time instead of performing ethanol precipitation and Bioneer column purification.
Lambda Exo (Day 1)[edit]
- Reagents used: 180 uL Lambda Exo (5 U/uL), 300 uL QIAEX II beads.
- Set up time ~3 hr
Reagent Volume dsDNA+water(~10ug) 125 uL Lambda Exo buffer,10X 15 uL Lambda Exo 10 uL 37C 1 hour -> 75C 10 min
- I set up 3x150 uL reactions for A-D, and 6x150uL reactions for E. I expected <20ug after digestion, so after pooling 3 reactions together in a 2.0 mL tube, I purified with 50 uL QIAEX II beads and 3X volumes QX1 buffer.
- Yield:
Subset | Input(ug) | QIAEX II yield, Nanodrop (ng/uL) | QIAEX II volume (uL) | Total LambdaExo/QIAEXII yield (ug) | %yield |
A | 33.704 | 76.5 | 190 | 14.535 | 43% |
B | 28.248 | 62.5 | 190 | 11.875 | 42% |
C | 34.21 | 79.2 | 190 | 15.048 | 44% |
D | 35.42 | 81.5 | 190 | 15.485 | 44% |
E | 29.4679 | 67.1 | 190 | 12.749 | 43% |
E | 29.4679 | 69.1 | 190 | 13.129 | 45% |
- Check Lambda Exo efficiency by running PAGE TBE gel.
- LambdaExo digestion have good efficiency.
- QIAEX II can purify ssDNA

USER digestion (Day 1/Overnight)[edit]
- Reagents used: 210 uL USER (NEB)
- Set up time ~ 1 hr
- Set up 1x1.5 mL tube for each overnight reactions.
Reagent Volume ssDNA+water(up to 15 ug) 280 uL DpnII buffer (10X) 35 uL USER (NEB) 35 uL 37C for overnight in thermomixer, 400 rpm
- Aliquot 2 uL of each (A-E) for PAGE-verification.
DpnII digestion (Day 2)[edit]
- Reagents used: 62 uL DpnII (50 U/uL)
- Set up time 30 minutes + 2 hours incubation + 30 minutes cleanup = 3 hr.
- To each USER 350 uL reaction, add 40 uL Guide-oligo (NN version), and add 5 uL DpnII buffer = 395 uL. Split into 4x0.2mL PCR tubes (~100 uL each).
94C for 2 minutes -> 0.1C/s to 60C -> 60C for 20 minutes -> 37C for 3 minutes add DpnII To each PCR tube, add a total of 5 uL of DpnII to each set (50U/uL). Use P200 to mix each reaction by re-pipetting 10 times on the thermocycler.
- Incubate at 37C for 1 hour.
- Aliquot 2 uL of each (A-E) for PAGE-verification
- After 1 hour, add mixture of 8 uL water, 1 uL DpnII buffer, 1 uL of DpnII
- NOTE: I forgot to ramp up to 94C and then back to 37C. This would have helped the digestion efficiency more than simply adding more DpnII.
Reagent Volume Nuclease free water 8x31 = 248 uL DpnII buffer (10X) 1x31 = 31 uL DpnII 1x31 = 31 uL 10 uL of DpnII mixture to each, use P200 to mix each reaction by repipetting 10 times on the thermocycler.
- Incubate at 37C for 1 more hour.
- Aliquot 2 uL of each (A-E) for PAGE-verification
- Clean up 5x90 uL reactions using 2 ssDNA cleanup columns (Zymo). Use ssDNA column to remove leftover dsDNA!
- Yield:
Subset | Input(ug) | USER/DpnII, ssDNA column, QUBIT(ng/uL) | ssDNA elution volume | Total (ug) | %yield |
A | 14.535 | 27.4 | 115 | 3.151 | 22% |
B | 11.875 | 21.6 | 115 | 2.484 | 21% |
C | 15.048 | 25.2 | 115 | 2.898 | 19% |
D | 15.485 | 33.6 | 115 | 3.864 | 25% |
E | 12.749 | 20.6 | 115 | 2.369 | 19% |
F | 13.129 | 25.2 | 115 | 2.898 | 22% |
- Gel confirmed that DpnII digestion was incomplete, use 100 units and RE_DpnII_V4 (no Ns) to try removing more adaptors.
- Gel after USER (O/N), DpnII (1hr), DpnII (1hr)

PAGE purification (Day 2/3)[edit]
- Purified A, B
- Reagent: 4 TBE-Urea gels, 300 uL TBU loading buffer, 6 Nanosep columns.
- We ran out of agarose so I used PAGE instead.
- Prepared 2D TBE-Urea gels for loading. Loaded 75 uL of sample + 75 uL of 2x loading buffer into each well. I used 2 gels per sample (22 PCR reactions).
- I didn't use a ladder because I already ran these samples with a ladder on the digestion check gel.
- Prepared the gel-shearing apparatus (1x2.0 mL tube per 2D gel with 1x0.5 mL inside - pierced the 0.5 mL tube with a 20 gauge needle, cut off the cap of the 2.0 mL tube and save for later) and UV them.
- Ran the gels at 220 V for 30 minutes. Stain with Sybr Gold for ~30 seconds.
- Wrap each gel flat with plastic wrap and under UV light, use a Sharpie marker to trace the band to be excised on the plastic wrap.
- Use a No. 10 scapel to cut out the desired bands and transfer sliced gel into the pierced 0.5 mL tube. Image the gel within the plastic wrap to ensure correct fragment was excised.
- Spin the tubes at maximum speed for 2 minutes.
- To each tube, at 3X(gel volume) of 1X TE buffer. I used 1.4 mL of TE per gel. Cap & freeze the tubes at -80C
- Thaw each tube in the thermomixer for 30 minutes at 50C. Ramp temperature up to 94C and soak for 5 minutes. Ramp temperature down to 37C and soak for 30 minutes.
- Separate gel from elutant using 1 Nanosep column (3 rounds centrifugation) per tube of gel. Transfer the elutant to a 5.0 mL tube.
- To each 5.0 mL tube with 1.4 mL elutant, add 140 uL 3.0 M sodium acetate, 5 uL GlycoBlue, 3.5 mL of 100% ethanol. Cap & freeze each tube at -80C.
- Use the ultracentrifuge in the basement to (SORVALL) to spin down each 5.0 mL tubes at 12,000rpm for 20 minutes.
- Transfer the pellet to a 1.5 mL tube with ice cold 75% ethanol & spin down & dry. After drying dissolve each pellet with 50 uL of water.
